Edmodo as a solution to enhance student learning interest in high school biodiversity during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

This study aims to improve the quality of learning by applying Edmodo's application at biodiversity class material of class 10 students in increasing student learning interest during Covid-19 period. Based on observations at SHS 3 Kerinci regency in Jambi province, Indonesia it was known that students' interest in learning biology was still low. This was due to the lack of availability of existing facilities and the learning process that is still through lectures and questions and answers. Students were less involved in exploring information about biological concepts causing low student interest in learning. The method used was Classroom Action Research. The research procedure was in the form of a cycle to know the improvement of student interest. Each cycle consists of four stages, including Planning, Acting, Observation, and Reflection. Data Collection Techniques was conducted through Questionnaire, Observation, and Documentation. This data collection used an instrument in the form of an Online Learning Interest Questionnaire and Observation Sheet conducted online. This study showed that the results of observations of student interest in online learning obtained in cycle II received criteria of very high at 96%. While the results of student interest in online learning questionnaire obtained with high criteria that was 76.74%. Based on the research done, it can be concluded that the application of Edmodo media in online learning increases student interest in biodiversity material in science class X-2 SHS 3 Kerinci regency in Jambi, Indonesia.

Blended Learning Using Edmodo: Students’ Performance and Attitude in Boxing During COVID-19

“…Additionally, students in the experimental group were able to access their classrooms using any device, such as a computer or a phone. These results are in agreement with the findings of previous studies (Arwansyah et al, 2019;Enriquez, 2014;Mahmud et al, 2021;Wicaksana et al, 2020) that agree on the ease of use of the Edmodo application. Its multiple functionalities allow the platform to be used via a mobile device or computer, thereby enabling users to receive notifications, interact with posts, solve assignments, see their progress easily, and communicate with other students and teachers.…”

Flipped Classroom–Digital Game-Based Learning (FC-DGBL): Enhancing Genetics Conceptual Understanding of Students in Bilingual Programme

“…FC provides learning experiences to students by learning virtually with the use of technology and face-to-face learning (Jensen et al, 2015;Lai & Hwang, 2016). Various research results reveal that the learning process with FC is carried out on various platforms such as Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Zoom Meeting, Google Meet, Edmodo, and Moodle Wicaksana et al, 2020;Darmawan et al, 2019;Hidayati et al, 2018;Permana et al, 2021;Permana & Chamisijatin, 2018;Wahyuni et al, 2020). The flexibility of viewing recording more than once and at the most relevant and convenient times improves student understanding and is an important asset in the FC model (Heijstra & Sigurðardóttir, 2017).…”
